This nonprofit plays a vital role in the community in many different ways. The UWPC has started many beneficial programs that directly impact many unfortunate familes in the community. Educational programs help children learn, not only class room related skills, but life skills on how to live a healthy life style.
The United Way of Perry County is a blessing to the community, but it would not be possible without the charitable donors who support the organization.
